Join the dawn chorus on Te Ahumairangi Hill and be at one with the birds. Every spring, the kōwhai bursts into bloom and the tūī descend to frolic and feast, and loudly proclaim that the kōwhai is all theirs.
Set among flowering kōwhai, tī kōuka/cabbage tree, and wharariki/flax, this iconic New Zealand scene puts you into the trees with the birds, taking in the stunning view of Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington Harbour, Mātiu Somes Island, and the Remutaka Range.
This piece was created on commission in memory of a very special father who loved nature and grew natives from seed, including many of the actual plants featured here. The commissioner wishes to share this piece with you to further honour her father’s legacy and has nominated Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush Trust to receive a 10% donation from my proceeds of each print sale.
